Very pale. The tap water here (Sarasota) stinks of chlorine; this has no aroma at all, period. It’s like I’m selling a black hole. Fizzy, a bit worty, hugely watery. This barely looks like beer, much less tastes of it. I would, however, drink this over a Pepsi, as there’s not enough in here to offend.

Can from Jungle Jim’s. Poured clear pale color with a minimal frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Light grainy hop aroma. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. My expectations where met with a worth trying once beer.

Gold and fizzy beer with some appley hints, earthy, some creamy caramelly hints. Weird beer.

Another horrible brew from Genesee. As bad as regular Genesee without the alcohol. I always get a metallic taste from Genessee beers, and this one was no different. Stay away.

Can & Cock & Bull. Clear straw color with hardly any head. Aroma is water with a twist of beer. Very clear. Tastes like water with a little grain flavor. Actually tastes completely inoffensive. A little gassy but besides that tastes better than most low-grade macro lagers and fulfills "the lighter the better" in that department.

My 1st rating of a NA - it was sitting all alone in Albertson's - I felt sorry for it! No aroma whatsoever - which beats skunky! Not much head, almost see through appearance. More similar to a club soda than a beer - has a bit of a carbonated feel to it. Overall - no beer flavor to this at all - which is better than some nasty beers I have had!

Appearance: Clear, yellow body with a thin, bubbly, white head. Smell: Light pale malt and corn with the scent of a filthy dog’s mouth equally filthy mouth. Bleh. Taste: Light pale malts with some corn husks stirred in. Very unclean. They scrubbed out the alcohol and replaced it with, well, I don’t know, but it’s all kinds of awful. Like a dog belched up something awful in the brew prior to canning. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Terrible! Some of these NA beers can be quite ghastly. And needlessly so!
